Mothers are indulged in the preparation of delicious delicacies for the family and all the guests visiting home for the Rakshabandhan celebration. Fathers are assigned with the duty of shopping, and sisters, spend half of their day waiting for their dearest brothers and getting ready for the festival. With hands adorned with mehndi and face having a wide smile, you will see your shouting “Mummy Bhaiya Aa Gaye…” when you enter you enter your home.

But, have you ever thought about what gift you would give to your sister on the auspicious occasion of Rakshabandhan, who is eagerly waiting for you? The sentiment and emotions she has in her eyes…what they all speak to you? Does your sister’s love, sacrifices, affection, and concern really need just a gift on Rakshabandhan?

If you are searching for a return Rakhi gift for your dearest sister, these eight promises by you to your sister will turn out to be one of the best gifts for Rakshabandhan. Have a look at them in the list given below:

1. Promise your sister to protect her for the lifetime

This era has proved to be very harsh to women. That is why; it is needed to protect her not only from the evils in society but also from all those people who are an obstacle in her growth. By protection, do not keep her locked in the house but let her fight the evils. And, if she falls ever, you are there to hold her back as a shield.

2. Promise her to be her guide whenever she needs

No matter what your dearest sister aspires to become, it is your duty to be the guide she might need in her struggling phase. Help her in choosing the best option in her life and career without making her realize that you are doing her a favor.

3. Promise her to teach her but never disrespect her

No matter what the situation is, make sure to always help her learn the lesson without knowledge and teachings. Always teach her what she needed to learn but not by disrespecting her.

4. Promise her to let her live the life the way she wants to

A brother should always check for the sister’s safety. But, he should never invade her privacy. Your sister is an individual who needs her own space. If you want your sister to grow and learn, it is very important to trust her.

5. Promise to be her secret keeper

You should always promise your loving sister to be her secret keeper. Every brother should also promise her sister not to judger her and always support her in making tough life decisions.

6. A promise not to leave her alone ever

Promise her to always hold on to her sister even in the worst of situations. No matter who is supporting her from the family, it’s your duty to always hold her hand through the thick and thin. You are her brother, and she knows she can trust you for your support.
